“Sue the Boy Scouts? Who sues the Boy Scouts? Anyway, I had to focus on what lay ahead.”After a horrible zipline accident at a Scout-O-Rama, Summer Miller finds she must quickly switch from a world of perfectly folded napkins and children’s birthday parties to become an alert warrior protecting her family from questionable medical care, ineffective therapists with shedding lap dogs and legal teams trained only to go for the win. “The book is intense. It punches. Summer’s account of how a man’s careless attitude toward safety sends her family plummeting from innocence to tragedy is told with astonishing courage and energy…and humor. We know families where the dream turned into a nightmare. Summer models a sane approach to a crazy-making event. She went straight from innocent to warrior, hardly touching on orphan or martyr. She’s a hero, though, in the book, not claiming to be.”—Patricia Mitchell Lapidus, author of Sweet Potato Suppers and Gideon’s River
